DUBLIN, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Ireland may take a staged
approach to removing COVID-19 curbs from Dec. 1 with the aim of
a further easing in the run up to Christmas to allow families to
celebrate in a "meaningful way", Prime Minister Micheal Martin
said on Friday.
"There may be a staged approach after Dec. 1. If we can get
the numbers way down, we'll obviously have to look at that
specific Christmas period and the week leading up to Christmas
because I do get that people will want to meet with family,"
Martin told national broadcaster RTE.
Martin said the government would also issue advice on
international travel for the Christmas period by the end of the
month after his deputy, Leo Varadkar, urged people on Thursday
not to book flights home yet.
